Tubular kmember and a-arms are pretty significant and relatively cheap especially used.

Yes i know that saves 30-40 pounds but i wont so that till i build the motor......for now i wanna see what the stock motor can do! :banana:
i have a battery relocated in the trunk, full cage, alum d/s,no front sway bar, no rear chunk on the rear, tubular rear susp and tokico adjustable drag struts, on nitto 275 drags on chrome cobra rs, the car did a 11.18 at 124...your goal is closer than u think.. i have 451 rwhp and 4:10s btw..
Thats very fast...i do think my car is capable of that but it will take awhile to get it all dialed in. Do you know what your car weighs? Also do you have 17s all the way around?
nice
On track days you can remove the passenger and rear seats. It's fast, simple and quite a bit of weight. Throw them back in when your done.
ABS delete saved me about 12lbs off the front of the car. Also the SAI was 4-5lbs.
That ABS pump feels like a lot more than 12 lbs.
It was pretty heavy, it might have been closer to 15. lol I didn't weigh it at all.
All I know is that when I finally got it freed, it fell straight to the ground. And I was still holding onto it.

Im pretty sure my abs isnt working right now anyways....how hard is it to take the pump off orbwhat do you have to do? Does this hurt driveability?
just stop-ability lol, but of you drive it alot, i wouldn't, like you said it only takes one
True and with skinnies up front its not going to stop the best....im hoping with the big and littles and corbeuas it weighs 3300 ish....also the jack and spare have been removed.
Fruits, salads, vegies, lots of running....
I got mine from this guy.

Awesome quality. If I wouldn't have put a line lock in at the same time, it probably would have only took me maybe 20 minutes to swap it..
I weighed the car the other day and it weighed 3240 with a 1/4 tank of gas!

Yea that's pretty light!! Right on! I wouldn't personally run with 1/4 tank of gas but either way that's awesome!
Stare at the car long enough, you'll find more places to pull weight from!
Ill never race a car that low on gas.....never! That just happened to be the amount in my gas tank at the time of tbe scale. And ive got another 50 pounds to take off....then it will be done untill tubular front end.

Hell ya man that's legit.. I just had my K-member and control arms installed and there is a huge difference that's for sure!
